Hi All,
Bearly, I know what you mean when you get that big supply of meds delivered to you, feels like your some kind of drug supplier for the local neighborhood. It's frustrating when you have to keep pushing for your meds too, they are supposed to be extra good to us, I feel because of all the stress we go through with this stuff, getting our meds shouldn't be made stressful for us. I used IVPCare last time and they were pretty good to me. They had a program for people that didn't have any insurance coverage for this where you could sign up for their program (which all that entailed was just giving them your email address) and save on your meds, I think I saved about $500 on my Follistim. Why do you dislike the Lupron? I was only on it for a week and half and it was awhile ago so I don't remember what the side effects were like.
Buckeye, Does your RE have you on BCP to get you ready for your next FET? Mine did and I hated it, it always feels so counterproductive to be on the pill when you want to get pg. I always counted down the days till me last pill. For me though I guess I kind of need it because back in April when I was getting ready to do my fresh cycle we had to end up putting it on hold because I had golf ball sized cyst on my ovary. So they put me on the pill for a month and the nurse was totally shocked at my next US when it was gone. I guess my question to that long drawn out explanation is what kind of meds does your RE do for an FET cycle?
Casey, I know what your saying with the PIO and bruising. The very first IVF I did (ages ago) with my first RE I had terrible bruising and soreness with the PIO. So much so I couldn't sit or lay on my backside without a great deal of discomfort, like you did butt exercises for 6 hours straight and the soreness you experience the next day. So my RE took me off the PIO and we just did suppositories. For my next IVF I guess the RE used a different oil for the progesterone and that did the trick and I haven't had any problems since, except for the foot long needle (feels like that long) my DH has to stick in my bum every night. I try to be positive about it and not dread it so much because I know when I do become pg we will have to continue to do that for the first trimester.
Ok I'm sorry I have blabbed too much, I go in for my US this am just to double check that lining. I am more optimistic now because the spotting stopped Saturday, but I will let you all know....
Warm Regards, Angel
